“Deirdre might be set in the 1970s, and costumes, sets and props prove as much, but in approach it’s more a timeless tale, with the direction emphasising the folkloristic nature of the story, the imagery giving the whole thing the look of a dark fairy tale, and the beautiful yet often brooding locations are used to full effect. And of course, a very competent cast doesn’t hurt one bit either.” (Mike Haberfeiner)
